Semua Bab Rising from the Ashes: Bab 2001 - Bab 2008

The Mighty Beast Palm was fierce, each strike heavier than the last. Andrew's Inferno Strike was just as intense, radiating an unbearable heat. After a round of brutal exchanges, Franklin's bald head was drenched in sweat, his face flushed as if scorched by fire. Meanwhile, Andrew remained calm and steady, his breathing unchanged. Franklin's brows furrowed deeply as he realized Andrew was no pushover, and he had underestimated him. His earlier attacks had mostly been tests, yet he did not realize Andrew had been doing the same. Facing a master like Franklin, Andrew constantly felt as if the second seal inside him might break at any moment. "Mr. Gurney, let's take him together!" Scarlett's cold voice cut in as she joined the fight. Franklin did not refuse, and this was no time to play it cool. Against someone like Andrew, they needed all the help they could get. Even facing two opponents, Andrew remained incredibly fierce and aggressive. He raised both palms to clash di

Andrew flashed a cold smile and said, "Curious? Why don't you ask the Grim Reaper?" He stepped left and vanished from sight, reappearing on Franklin's right like a phantom. Franklin's Mighty Beast Palm slammed into empty air on the left, hitting nothing and leaving him frustrated. Without warning, his bald head snapped forward at a ninety-degree angle, and he crashed face-first into the floor. In the next instant, his body bent like a bow, folding in half before being hurled over ten yards away, smashing into the wall and leaving a crater so deep the street outside was visible. "What…" Scarlett's entire body trembled, the word barely escaping her lips. Franklin roared as he tore himself free from the rubble, but just as he regained his footing, his head whipped backward violently, nearly snapping his neck. Andrew had suddenly appeared in front of him and drove a punch straight into his forehead. Blood that had been building inside finally erupted, spraying from Frank

The standoff was tense. Andrew did not move, and neither did Dante Fraser, but the air was far from calm. Andrew could crush Franklin's skull in an instant, while Dante could unleash a storm of attacks just as quickly. Moreover, with over a dozen Special Ops agents plus gunmen surrounding them, it was clear Andrew was at a disadvantage. If he had been reasonable, he would have stepped aside and let Special Ops take Franklin. However, Andrew had already made it clear that he was not going to be reasonable. His eyes hardened, and he swung a kick straight toward Franklin's head. "You're asking for death!" Dante roared as the muscles in his neck bulged. A violent surge of wind gathered around his fist as he hammered it toward Andrew's head. If he followed through, Franklin would be crushed, but Andrew would also take a devastating blow. Yet, to Dante's shock, Andrew's kick was just a feint, and his balance was not in that leg at all. Before he could react, Andrew crouche

Andrew did not waste any time and went straight to the Rhodes residence. Tiana said weakly, "That bitch Mia lured Victoria and me into a trap. She had skilled fighters lying in ambush around her…" She broke into violent coughing halfway through her explanation. Once she recovered enough to continue, she spoke with hatred in her voice. "Victoria and I knew she was up to no good. But she had something that Reggie left for us years ago. We had to get it back." She added, "It's all my fault for being careless and overconfident. Now, Victoria has fallen into the Driscoll family's hands." Andrew had completely calmed down by this point. "Mrs. Rhodes, how are you feeling? Take these two pills first. Leave the rest to me." He handed her two precious elixirs. After taking them, Tiana said with deep guilt, "I'm so sorry. This is mostly my fault. You need to go save Victoria; she won't end well in Mia's hands. "That bitch has always been at odds with Victoria and me, but especi
